According to the Wall Street Journal‘s Bankruptcy Beat, court documents show Teresa and her husband are now facing a lawsuit to prevent them from using the debt discharge available under the Bankruptcy Code.

Chapter 7 trustee John Sywilok is in charge of collecting the couple’s assets and distributing the proceeds to creditors.

According to Sywilok, the Giudices have been making false statements under oath about their assets, income and expenses and have allegedly hid documents about their finances and business transaction.
